Lyrics

I used to sell a lot of things CDs and records, t-shirts and magazines I used to sell a lot of things Patches and stickers so I could buy guitar strings I used to buy a lot of things Cigarettes and coffee and gasoline You know, kinda sucks when you're in a band You gotta pull it together to travel across the land It just got me down I'd just sit in the car and drive from town to town I tell people not to drive but I'm just a clown 'Cause I drive more than anyone, yeah And I just drive around Tell people to eat right and to follow their hearts But you know, I'm not very smart 'Cause I, I get my dinner at the mini-mart Went to the demonstration to say no more oil And the cops, they sprayed mace in my face You know, we'd go on tour in the summer But the van's got a leak, we spray oil all over the place Went to see Judy Barry talking about saving some redwood trees And she sang some songs She didn't have to use no electricity And she didn't have to flex up no CDs And she didn't have to make no book with a sleeve She didn't have to kill nothing to say her piece And it got me to thinking about how Maybe I'm just too attached to people Talking about my latest record Selling shit and getting tax-free cash And it got me to thinking about how I'm not really living the life I'm talking about So I, I gave it up and I left the city Got a place with a yard and I planted myself a garden I used to sell a lot of things Until I, I found out just how many About fifteen thousand of each release Had something worn out in the shrink wrap I used to buy a lot of things But you know, I'll just sit and watch my garden grow When the summertime comes I'll just eat from my garden and live like a bum I'm gonna put some roots down I'm gonna put some roots down I'm gonna put some roots down And I am gonna grow I'm gonna put some roots down I am gonna put some roots down I'm gonna put some roots down And I am gonna grow I'm gonna put some roots down I am gonna put some roots down I'm gonna put some roots down And I am gonna grow
